Assembler Crash

[John Worley]

    The assembly input:

        .section .text, "ax", "progbits"

        .type t,@function

t:
        { .mli
                nop     0x0
                nop 0x0
        } ;;

    Causes the following crash in both gcc 2.96 and 3.01:

Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/ia64-unknown-linux/3.0.1/specs
Configured with: ../gcc-3.0.1/configure --enable-languages=c,c++,f77
Thread model: single
gcc version 3.0.1
 as --traditional-format -x -o foo.o foo.s

Please submit a full bug report.
See <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/bugs.html> for instructions.

    After some testing, the culprit seems to be the nop in the L slot.
